After two humorous and drama-filled episodes with love triangles, road trips, slugs, and a unicorn, “Legacies” unveiled a shocking twist in Landon's story. The season as a whole has remained fairly lighthearted with plenty of humorous moments, supernatural teenage struggles, and relationship drama. As with its two predecessors, "Legacies" knows how to hit upon the emotional heartbreak with Jo returning from the dead to meet her twins for the first time, Rafael found closure with the death of his girlfriend, and Landon's mom choosing to return to Malivore.

So it comes as no surprise the series took a heartbreaking route with Thursday's episode which saw a distressed and angry MG attack Landon. What did come as a surprise was "Legacies" answering a major question about Landon while also opening up a bunch more questions. Alaric, Hope, MG, Kaleb, and Rafael discovered Landon has phoenix-like abilities when his body burst into flames and he broke free of an ash shell completely alive again. As it was with “The Vampire Diaries” and “The Originals” Landon's origins will most likely take a twist as things lead up to the season finale.

The photos tease Josie descending the stairs with Penelope (Lulu Antariksa) on her arm and a dressed up Hope who appears to be worried. The photos give a peek at Hope's dress which has caught some attention among fans that immediately recognized it as the gown Hope's father Klaus (Joseph Morgan) gave to Caroline (Candice King) way back in season 3 of "The Vampire Diaries." It's currently unknown how Hope gets this dress and has caused quite the stir among fans with several comparing the two dresses in side by side photos.

The episode is entitled “Let's Just Finish This Dance” and will air March 14.

According to the press release, the episode will focus on Hope (Danielle Rose Russell) as she deals with the trauma of Landon's death which the promo shows Hope as she struggles to keep control of her magic and seemingly causing her to push away Landon. The episode has another struggle for Hope with the arrival of her ex, Roman (Jedidiah Goodacre), who was last seen in “The Originals” season 5 where he betrayed Hope by helping his mother kidnap Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin), an action which resulted in Hayley's death. His arrival will also have Landon on alert. The episode will also pick up with MG's struggles following his attack on Landon when he lost control.
